Cleaning apparatus

Abstract

A cleaning apparatus comprises a housing, a driving mechanism and a plurality of cleaning elements. The driving mechanism is disposed in the housing. The cleaning elements are connected to the driving mechanism. The driving mechanism rotates the cleaning elements to clean the emitters.

1. A cleaning apparatus for cleaning a plurality of emitters of an ionizer, comprising:
 a housing; 
 a driving mechanism, disposed in the housing; 
 a plurality of cleaning elements, connected to the driving mechanism, wherein the driving mechanism rotates the cleaning elements to clean the emitters; and 
 a positioner disposed on the housing for abutting the ionizer to control a distance between the cleaning elements and the emitters, wherein the positioner comprises a body, a groove disposed on the body, a fastener fixing the body on the housing through the groove, and a positioning portion connected to the body to abut the ionizer, wherein the positioner slides along a first axis via the groove with respect to the fastener to control the distance. 
 
     
     
       2. The cleaning apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein each cleaning element comprises a soft elastic material to clean the emitters. 
     
     
       3. The cleaning apparatus as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the soft elastic material is foam plastic. 
     
     
       4. The cleaning apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein each cleaning element comprises a plurality of brush hairs to clean the emitters. 
     
     
       5. The cleaning apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein each cleaning element comprises a ceramic portion, and the ceramic portion rubs off a product on the emitter. 
     
     
       6. The cleaning apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the cleaning elements are detachably connected to the driving mechanism. 
     
     
       7. The cleaning apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the cleaning elements are disposed corresponding to the emitters. 
     
     
       8. The cleaning apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the cleaning elements are disposed equidistantly along a straight line. 
     
     
       9. The cleaning apparatus as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein a plurality of rotation axes of the cleaning elements are perpendicular to the straight line. 
     
     
       10. The cleaning apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the driving mechanism comprises:
 a driver; 
 a first roller, connected to the driver and rotated thereby; 
 a belt, contacting the first roller and activated thereby; and 
 a plurality of second rollers, contacting the belt and rotated thereby, 
 wherein the cleaning elements are disposed on the second rollers, and rotated thereby. 
 
     
     
       11. The cleaning apparatus as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the cleaning elements are detachably disposed on the second rollers. 
     
     
       12. The cleaning apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the positioning portion is U-shaped. 
     
     
       13. The cleaning apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the positioning portion comprises two supporting arms extending separately along the first axis. 
     
     
       14. The cleaning apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the positioning portion is arc-shaped.
